So if i did a fowlr, i wouldnt need terrific lights, i could use a hob filter, and i might not need powerheads??

Correct on lights. However if you buy lights now that aren't coral capable and then decide to go reef later you will have to invest in another light fixture(s).

You probably still need a powerhead. Just don't need to achieve 30x-45x+ turnover rates that are recommended for reef tanks.
